Has anyone else encountered this? It actually took me longer than the normal .5 seconds to figure out what to type.

Are the old ones not strong enough or something? Seriously.

Yes, haha it actually took me like a couple minutes to get it. Stupid. Maybe thats how they get people to pay, you dont have to deal with it if you pay.

Yeah, it's been on for a few weeks.

I think the happyhour makes up for it though.


But really, did they have to italicize, morph AND cat it?

I did it 5 times in a row before getting it right.
Which adds up to a little under 15 minutes, just trying to ****ing download something.

What is this "happyhour" you speak of and when is it?

I share your pain. But I did get it on my first try. Regardless, it takes way longer than it should.

It's an hour where you don't have to type anything in. I don't know when, most likely late at night.

This wouldn't suck as much if there was an option to reset the image if you can't read it, which is about 2/3s of the images I get.

Yeah, they could have at least differentiated the cats from the dogs a bit more. It's a bit of a pain, but I seem to always download during happy hour so I don't have to deal with it much.

I AGREE




By the way, they have to keep making the images more complex so that it's more difficult for bots to thwart the system. As long as humans can read it and bots can't, everyone is (semi-) happy.
